Rodrigo Duterte arrested in Manila after ICC warrant
bbc.com —
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested at Manila airport after returning from Hong Kong. This follows an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity related to his controversial "war on drugs." Duterte's arrest comes despite claims from his former spokesperson that it is unlawful, as the Philippines had withdrawn from the ICC. The ICC maintains it has jurisdiction over crimes committed before the withdrawal. Duterte, 79, was in Hong Kong to campaign for upcoming elections. Authorities report he is in good health and receiving care from government doctors.
